Blood Donation

if
we talk about blood donation, it will be heard so scary. but actually, it ain't
like you think. whereas, you'll get benefits. but before i talk about it i want
to tell you about blood donation. Blood donation is the process of taking blood
from one volunteer to be stored in the blood bank for later use in blood transfusions.

To be able to donate blood, a blood donor must meet the
following requirements:

* Prospective donors must be aged 17-60 years,
* Minimum weight 50 kg
* Hemoglobin levels> 12.5 g%
* Blood pressure, 100-150 (systolic) and 70-100 (diastole).
* Sign a form pendaftaranan
* Does not have blood clotting disorders
* Pass the test conditions of weight, hemoglobin, blood type, and examination by
a physician
* To maintain the health and safety of blood, potential donors should not be in
a condition or illness such as alcoholism, hepatitis, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy,
or high risk groups get AIDS as well as having a fever or flu like illness; had
just pulled his teeth in less than three day; never received a transfusion of
less than a year; as well for a year that has not tattooing, piercing, or acupuncture;
pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
Blood transfusion is the process of channeling blood or blood-based products
from one person into the circulatory system of another person. Blood
transfusion associated with medical conditions such as large amounts of blood
loss due to trauma, surgery, shock and organ dysfunction forming red blood
cells.

as the muslims, we must help each other. including the blood donation. awe help
poeple who needs blood more. although it will be given to the other muslims.
because our teaching in islam is rahmatan lil'alamin.

and here it is. the benefits of blood donation.A. Maintain a healthy heartHigh levels of iron in the
blood will make a person more susceptible to heart disease. Excessive iron in
the blood can cause the oxidation of cholesterol. The oxidation product
deposits on artery walls and is equal to increase the odds of heart attack and
stroke. When we donate blood regularly then the amount of iron in the blood can
be more stable. This means lower risk of heart disease.
2. Increase the production of red blood cellsBlood donors will also help the
body reduce the number of red blood cells in the blood. No need to panic with a
decrease in red blood cells, because the spinal cord will soon recharge the red
blood cells that have been lost. The result, as our donors will get a new blood
supply every time you donate blood. Therefore, donor blood is a good way to
stimulate the creation of new blood.
3. Help decrease body weightBeing a blood donor is one method of burning
calories diet and powerful. Because by giving about 450 ml of blood, will help
the process of burning about 650 calories. That is the amount of calories that
much to make us slim waist.4. Psychological health gainDonate things that are
priceless to those in need will make us feel psychological satisfaction. A
study found that elderly people who become regular blood donors will continue
to feel energized and fit.
5. Detect serious diseasesEvery time we would like to donate blood, blood of
our standard procedure is to be examined from various diseases such as HIV,
hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, and malaria. For those who receive a blood
donor, this is important information to anticipate the spread of disease through
blood transfusion. While for us, this is the "warning signs" that
good so we are more concerned about our own health conditions.
